General question: how does one of those walk behind trencers (ditch witch) do with 3" hardwood roots?
From my experience with 2" roots not well at all, this year I had to dig 30' of 3" wide 18" deep trench in hard clay with roots so I rented the largest tracked walk behind HD had. It still beat me up and I had to manually chop through many of the larger roots with a hand tool.
